The tenth of May, Memorial Day
OF those who nobly died for nought
Returns again, but brings no stain
Toshame the cause for which they fought.
In each low dale and sloping vale
OF this bright and beautiful land,
There sleeps In might some noble knight,
WHO grandly fell with sword in hand.
Along each rill and on each hill
That gently rises DER the plain,
There sleeps in dust sacred trust
To us, some gallant soldier slain.
BY ocean tide and mountain side
Our heroes fell in thickcst fight,
And there they rest their spirits blcst,
In the realm of heavenly light.
Then, matrons scar and maidens fair,
Go where the woodland echoes ring.
Then come and crown each hallowed mound
With the sweetest flowers Of spring.
Go search each nave and secret cave
To find where lie your gallant dead,
And crown the grave that died to save
You from expressions ruthless tread.
Bring, too, the wreath from Southern heath
And lay 1t gently at the head
vi tomb OF Lee, whose spirit free
Still leads his saintcd, gallant dead.
And jackson, too, the good and true,
Who grandly led his legions brave
To win the right by dauntlcss fight,
And thus his bleeding country save
Land of the South, o glorious South!
,,,, Canst thou forget thy noble slain?
Then CurSt the name and lustrous fame
Of them who nobly died in vain.
Lend of the brave who died to save,
OH forget not thy noble slain;
But lift n shaft OF stately craft
10 them who nobly died in vain.
Then, mothers dear aud sisters fair,
House yc now to this work of love
And point that shaft of stately craft
PROUDLY towards the heavens above.
